: 0.053s Scan: 0.060sAfter the Battle of Borland, the British Empire and the Gauls were eagerly looking forward to a fight between Hans and the Bear.

As long as a war broke out between the two countries, sacrificing Borland would be completely worth it.

However, things did not go as they thought.

October passed quickly, and the entire Borland had been occupied by Hans and the Bear. The armies of both sides began to build defense lines in their respective occupied areas and confronted each other.

This made the British Empire and the Gauls feel bad!

“What happened? Why didn’t they fight?”

The Gauls were the first to lose their temper, because they had done nothing during this period, so they were scolded badly!

Because they had the title of a protectorate of Poland but did not really assume the responsibility of protecting Poland, the image of Gaul in the hearts of people from various countries suddenly dropped greatly.

Although Poland has always been an uneasy country and other countries do not have much good feelings towards Poland, since the Gauls have promised to safeguard the independence of Poland, they must take practical actions to fulfill their obligations.

In Western countries, the spirit of contract is something that everyone attaches great importance to, and a country without credibility will always be spurned by other countries.

The last time, the sun never sets was hated by many countries because it failed to fulfill its duty to protect Jerk, which caused the image of the sun never sets in various countries to plummet and decline sharply.

However, The British at least had a lame excuse that time, after all, it was not Hans who destroyed Jake, but Bohemia, so they could use this reason to get away with it.

But this time, Gaul really has no excuse at all!

Although they declared war on the Russians, everyone can see that Poland did not actually die at the hands of the Russians, but at the hands of Hans.

The Russians were indeed the first country to declare war on Poland, but they were blocked in the east by the Polish army and could not attack the Polish capital. Instead, it was the German army that attacked from the west that broke through Poland’s defenses first and conquered Warsaw!

Therefore, if the responsibility is divided, the Russians will bear a maximum of 30% of the responsibility, and the remaining 70% of the responsibility belongs to Hans. However

, Gaul chose to declare war on a country that was the farthest away from them and had the least responsibility, but let it go. Hans, who was so close and had the greatest responsibility, was generally regarded by the international community as bluffing and fearing the enemy like a tiger!

Indeed, the Gauls were very afraid of Hans, but how could such a thing be discussed by everyone?

This made them lose all face. As a traditional power in Europe, Gaul, which had produced great men like Charlemagne and Napoleon, was actually so afraid of Hans at this moment!

This made all countries despise Gaul and look down on them.

Even the people in Gaul’s colonies in Africa and Asia, after hearing the news, felt that their chance to restore their country had come, so they began to act, making the Gauls extremely anxious. They had to guard against the powerful enemy around them, and also guard against possible riots in the colonies!

This kind of life is simply not a human life. The days passed, so Gaul was forced to have no choice but to find the British Empire in a hurry, wanting to find out what kind of agreement the British Empire had reached with the Hans in private, and why the Hans had not yet sent troops to attack the bear?

The Gauls were anxious, and the British Empire was also very anxious.

At the beginning, they had deployed several chess pieces around Hans, including the Fairyland to the north of Hans, Boland to the east of Hans, Jeke and Romania to the southeast of Hans, and the Hannan Sila Kingdom.

These are all very good relations with the British Empire and are supported by the British Empire.

Relying on the powerful national strength and influence of the British Empire and the special geographical location of these countries, the British Empire built a siege around Hans, trapping Hans firmly in it!

Once this siege is deployed, Hans’ land and sea passages will be completely cut off!

Among them, Yugoslavia blocked Hans’ southward passage, Fairyland blocked Hans’ northward passage, and controlled the Baltic Sea outlet. The powerful navy of the Sun Never Sets could block Hans’s outlet in the North Sea, completely cutting off Hans’ connection with the outside world by sea! If these three countries cooperate, Hans will completely become a landlocked country, and can only struggle on land!

On land, Gaul and Belgium to the west of Hans, Poland to the east, and Jieke and Yugoslavia to the southeast can all block Hans’s way, turning Hans, the tiger, into a toothless tiger in a cage, losing its deterrent ability!

This encirclement has always been the pride of the Sun Never Sets. With their title as the world’s hegemon, they can command so many countries to arrange such a three-dimensional encirclement across most of Europe, covering land, sea and air according to their own wishes!

However, this encirclement is now missing one side. Poland to the east and Jieke to the southeast have been destroyed, and Hans has opened up the passage to the east!

Although there was a powerful bear in the east that blocked Hans, the destruction of these two countries put the British Empire in a very unfavorable situation morally.

The destruction of Jake made all countries realize that it was unwise to tie their national security and national interests completely to the British Empire, because the British Empire could kick them off the chariot at any time for the benefit of the British Empire!

Therefore, the confidence of all countries in the British Empire suddenly decreased. Although they did not completely jump off the British Empire, they all had other ideas in their hearts. Some countries even began to contact Hans secretly, as if trying to maintain a balance between Hans and the British Empire, and they would lean towards whoever had the upper hand.

Such countries include Yugoslavia and Romania, and the British Empire’s younger brother, Windmill, immediately announced that they would remain neutral after Poland was destroyed, and reduced their own troops, disbanding all of their two already pitiful divisions. The entire country was completely defenseless!

This gesture was to tell Hans that I was lying down, you could come over at any time, and I would never resist!

The British Empire knew very well that the destruction of the country of Jake and their inaction had shaken their allies’ confidence in them, while the destruction of the country of Poland made these countries completely give up and began to stop pinning their hopes on themselves!

There are three main reasons for this phenomenon. One is the inaction of the British Empire, and the other is Hans’ increasingly strong attitude. The third one is more fatal, that is, the proposal to move the capital submitted and passed by Prime Minister Lloyd George in Parliament after taking office!

The moment that the proposal was made public, it almost told the world: The strategic focus of the British Empire in the future is not in Europe, but in South Asia and Africa!

If the British Empire successfully moves its capital, then their influence in Europe will inevitably drop drastically.

Those countries in Europe that are allied with the British Empire cannot move their entire countries to the vicinity of the new capital of the British Empire to accompany them.

So at the moment when the strategic focus of the British Empire began to shift, these countries had to prepare a way out for themselves, so as to avoid the British Empire patting their butts and leaving in the future, and they have no thighs to rely on.

Among the three major powers in Europe, the British Empire has always been the strongest. When they left, there were only two powers left.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Gaul was not as strong as Hans, so instead of clinging to the Gauls, it was better to cling to Hans.

These reasons were the main reasons for the collapse of the world order of the British Empire, at least the order in Europe.

At this moment, the war launched by Hans only accelerated this process!

Although they understood what was going on, the British Empire could not accept this result!

They had been in the position of overlord for too long and could not stand the feeling of losing the position of overlord!

So after the Gauls came over to question them, the British immediately contacted their diplomats in Hans and asked them to question Hans in person: What does it mean that Hans has been dragging them and not signing a non-aggression pact with them?

……

Berlin, the capital of Hans.

After receiving the protest from the British, Ribbentrop reported the other party’s opinion to Mainz.

“The British Army seems to be getting anxious. We probably can’t deceive them anymore!”

Ribbentrop said with some regret. They have been delaying the British Army in order to buy time for their main force, so that they can rush back to their homeland as soon as possible and launch a surprise attack on the French.

At this time, the British Army’s patience has been exhausted. It seems that they can’t delay much longer!

“It doesn’t matter, as long as the First Army is in place!”

“Send a telegram to Guderian, asking his troops to set off immediately and return to the Rhine region within three days!”
